Terry Cook, son of Harold and Lois Kelly Cook, passed away at his home in Hawaii on Thanksgiving Day. Terry had been with his mother in Sellersburg and Patriot for the funeral of his dad, Harold Cook, and had flown back to Hawaii on Wednesday. Terry was born near Florence and his parents moved to Sellersburg when he was young. He grew up there and has been living in Hawaii for the past 30 plus years. Sympathy to the family. Thanks to Jean Burgess for the two news items.
